Contenuti
The module consists of lectures focused on art, archaeology, and material culture of the Greek world. The course will follow both a chronological and thematic structure. For each historical period analyzed, special attention will be given to different artisanal and artistic forms, as well as urban development. In particular, the course will examine architecture, sculpture, ceramic production, spaces and everyday objects, funerary practices and grave goods, as well as the economic aspects of art and artisanal production. Those students who have already taken (in their BA) Greek Archaeology are requested to meet the Docent, in order to assign some readings on Attic cave cults (Nymphs and Pan). They will be requested to write a paper (20.000 words, bibliography included, TNR 12) on one of the Attic caves. Bibliography and editorial guidelines will be updated on Kiro.
